What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday? 90

Mine has been a very active space - I photographed on Tuesday because this is a scheduled post. I'm off out to play today, and need not get up at 5.30. Although I probably should - it takes an age for the creases from the pillow to wear off my face these days!So here's what I did first: packed the tote with supplies and papers etc for Thursday's workshop. Took about 3 hours; lots of die cutting for this one!

Then I had to settle down and do some non craft work..honestly, this week is all about filling in multi page forms; it is not interesting and I hope not to have to repeat it; but the pay off is amazing. Get the forms filled and in their envelopes and presto wham! clear desk, ready for playing.

So I did. It was fun and the light was awful, so is the photo!

Really pleased that you think a PiF for the second WOYWW anniversary is a good idea, we need to keep it relatively uncomplicated; I'll ask you on the day to add an asterisk * to your name in the link if you are participating. And the last participant simply sends to the first..then you're all in the loop. Easy, huh!

Meanwhile, show us your current work desk, tray, table, floor space so that we can see what you've got and what you're doing with what you've got and what we might want that you already have. Upload a photo to your blog, link here and we'll come round as soon as we can! You don't have to visit everyone - taking into account numbers, word verification and blogger's hormones, just get around as many or as few as you can. No blatant advertising please - good blogging will promote your products far better than a flash on WOYWW!

Looks like you are getting ready for a productive day over there, Julia!.. ours is nearly over as 5pm here , but still time to play..even if in the virtual world the inter-web looking at other desks.. thanks Julia for hosting the fun!Shaz in Oz.xx

Have a fun Wednesday Julia. I will be in the link on the day if only I remember to add my * ....in fact it's just taken me ages to find it on my keyboard :-) Make it simple Julia cos I have found many that can't read simple instructions along my travels and the whole thing could end up with some receiving 2 or 3 and others not getting any :-)Hugs,A x

Hi JuliaHaving blogged for weeks - great that you run this "event" as it motivates me to blog again !!Loads of good things happening on your desk this week !!What's a PiF for the 2nd anniversary ? Ali #37

Up at 5.30? I over slept this morning, surprisingly so I'm late... never mind. Your desk always looks organised to me. Must put the PiF thingy on the calender, as I'd already forgotten about it, really do wish I had a bigger brain sometimes! It that a cute little rabbit I can see. (I must get my head into thinking Easter and rabbits with eggs) Your crafty event sounds like great fun, wish I lived nearer. Have a fab time(Lyn)

Have fun at your workshop! Looks like you are prepared!I had a desk full of paperwork too but didn't want to take a picture of it and be reminded, lol!But now your desk looks all crafty again and ready for more of your fabulous creations!xoxo Karen (#44)

Hope you have a good day out... I'm out all day today too but mine is not craft-related... I'm going to visit my grandma, who is finally out of hospital, and introduce her to her second great-grandaughter for the first time! :)

hi julia, hope you are well, so happy to finally be back and able to join you this week, have missed you all so much!! well done on clearing your desk, cant wait to see what you create, there must be something in the air this week that has us clearing our desks! hugs mandyxx

ooooh you've been busy, Julia, paperwork, crafting, packing....hope you're having fun today!I've loaded photos of my temporary crafty corner - I'd have to take the camera for a walk all over the place to show all the places my stuff is stashed now. hey ho, it will be worth it when it's done....

Have a great workshop safe in the knowledge that you were totally GUDD to finish your paperwork first!!! I have a workshop with Tim Holtz this Friday, so a big week for both of us eh??? PiF is a great idea and I am looking forward to it...Frankiexx

Forms! Hate the little blighters. Don't get me started on questionaires. They are the pits. Never got the right boxes for me to tick. Have been known in the past to draw an extra box or two in and then tick it! Did that once on a character refernece form that came into my old boss. It didn't have the boxes I wanted so I created my own. The new Boss even rang me up to thank me for clarifying a few points.Lol. `

Hi Julia.....love your new look! it has been a while since i popped by. I have had a change too decided to create a new blog.....change is good. Anyway looks like you have been keeping very busyhave a great wednesday

I also hat form filling, Julia, and put it off until the very last moment. However, I am quite proudl of myself so far this year, having finished the probate and tax forms for Mum's estate (not complicated, just got put off), sorted out and got our new passports, and done a few more jobs like that. Just waiting now for our Census forms to arrive, suddenly realised they are due any time. Sadly, it does not look as though we shall get any more of the old Censuses released for those of us who are into Family Tree research - perhaps we should all complain loudly and long, they are such a useful source to find our missing relatives. Hope your crafting day went well, Julia. See you next week.

Great feeling once the paperwork is finished and you can play! Think I've got it the wrong way round today.....now where's that car insurance renewal form?! Ooops, well bless my soul, under a pack of decoupage stuff :) Di x

I'm not sure who linked me up this week, but I thank them. And I would never visit and not leave a comment. That's why you know I'm here. I can't believe people don't leave YOU comments, especially since they are already here. NOT COOL for people who came and left after linking up.

BTW, that paperwork may not be much fun, but like you said, it is worth it in the end. The payoff is HUGE, I'm sure.

Not sure what I missed, but I have no idea what a PiF is for the 2nd anniversary. However, whatever everyone else wants is perfectly acceptable with me.

Phew, I made it ahead of number 100 in the list. I think I have a whole day of forms and bookkeeping tomorrow. Yuck-o! I love the idea that hormones, and perhpas lack thereof might inhibit blog visiting a bit. Ros.

Hormone central here this morning!! Haven't had a play date in years, hope you enjoy. That's an organised tote you have there, your desk needs to take note, although it's tidy this week cause everything is in the tote!

Hi Julia, long time no speak. It has been six weeks since I have joined in with WOYWW. So I am unaware re what Pif means, please enlighten me LOL. Can't believe you were up at 5.30am, takes me all my time to get up 4 hours later than that at the min LOL. Your desk looks quite tidy today, I'm impressed and I love the PaperArtsy stamps on your desk, can't wait to see what you create. Tracy Evans x x

How wonderful, a play day. Looks like you are ready and raring to go. I am so sorry that my area no longer has any shops that offer workshops any more. We have hardly anything close to me, except Michael's, and I am upset whenever I go there because they never have what I am looking to purchase. Seems pretty silly that I don't think they have the latest products until it has become and old product. Guess it all depends on the buyer for that particular store. Don't really know. So you have a great time and show us your goodies later. Gosh how did I get to venting on here. SORRY!

You look so organised, Julia, but I guess it is a case of having to be sometimes. I'm trying this today - packing for a 3 day residential - and trying to catch up on expense claims for work. Boring! But at least the fun is still to start!! Hope you had a great workshop. I'll come out to play again next week.

Its so good to be back after missing a couple of weeks.I look forward to having a nose around to see what everyone is upto.Spring cards are popping up everywhere.Happy crafting everyone.Have a great Workshop Kaz x

Hey Julia...hope you are going to have a grand day playing with your crafties after having to suffer through all those forms! Enjoyed your post on my blog and I have a couple good sentiments for ya----#1 if you don't have anything nice to say...come sit by me. #2 Getting old is just a part of life....you go first! #3 I do my best work on the cusp of insanity! Enjoy!

Have loads of fun at your workshop Julia. I think you are the only one who has commented about my continuing obsession with The Greeting Farm stamps! Do you think I have enough? NEVER!Susan xxox #16http://stamponme.blogspot.com/

A PIF anniversary sound like a great idea...although I won't have time to participate as I'm suppose to be packing and getting ready to move. And yes relaxing and crafting after a long hard day of work is such a nice feeling! Happy be-lated WOYWW! So happy I had time to join in this week! :D

Oh, a play date!! I really need one of those? Anybody in the Albany, NY area? Anywhere close?? I feel like I'm in the Siberian Wasteland of Stamping!(No offense to anyone in Siberia: I have one of your dogs! LOL)

Not been over in a while - not been blogging in a while! LOL! Now been released from captivity and am free to roam for a few months!Wish I could come over more often as I like this lickle 'show and tell' ! Will make more effort Julia, promise!Enjoy your workshop and keep on craftin' Hunni!HugsEiglasx
